Johnny Met June

(album: Suit Yourself - 2005)

I got some news today from the radio man
He spoke the words somber and as softly as he can
The world stood still and the sky opened up
I made up my way to fill my coffee cup

Then it occurred to me as the daylight sky shone blue
Today's the day that Johnny met June

He waited a while, he knew that he would
He was gonna hang around here for as long as he could
The days went by and hours idle passed
He was never sure just how long he would last

But there's not much love in a lonely room
Today's the day that Johnny met June

Hey, my darling, hey, my sweet
I waited on the day when I knew we would meet
Hey, my sun, hey, my moon
Today's the day that Johnny met June

And now we're starting over, it's the place that we are
You look more than pretty underneath all the stars
Love, love is a burning thing
Oh, how I still love to hear you sing

Oh, and everything we ever heard about Heaven is true
Today's the day that Johnny met June
Today's the day that Johnny met June
